How green is the Euros? Philippe Auclair takes a look.
Elsewhere it has been confirmed that England full-back Lucy Broze will leave Barcelona this summer after the conclusion of her contract.
Every man and his dog will be offering up their opinions on what England should do on Sunday against Slovakia. One such person is former striker Jermain Defoe who fancies seeing a bit more Ollie Watkins in this tournament.
“When Ollie Watkins came on (against Denmark), he looked really sharp,” Defoe told the PA news agency. “He is someone who can get us up the pitch because he is so dynamic. He runs in behind, the ball doesn’t only come to his feet. I would love to see see him involved a little bit more because Harry Kane can drop into that 10 position, to roam and do his stuff. Harry is such a world-class finisher and it is almost like he can play in two positions, having almost mastered the number nine position as a focal point and can then also play in at number 10 because his passing rate is one of the best.”
How do we solve a problem like England? Jacob Steinberg has a big and bold suggestion: drop Jude Bellingham.
The team has looked incredible unbalanced in the three group games. If Southgate wants Rice and Mainoo to sit, maybe it is best for everyone is Bellingham sits it out on Sunday. What do you think?
What a night it was for Georgia. In their first European Championships and they have made the last 16.
